Hi everyone 🤗
So glad to have found this forum! New viewer here, and this show has become an obsession!
Such shows that leave a mark don't come often, and this is one of them. Being a bit familiar with Pak shows starting with Humsafar, I have found many shows' plots to have a melancholic touch and too much sadness (by reading the plot and not watching much). But the upbeat vibe and look and feel here are great! I like the bewafai tune only, and not the lyrics. Wonder why it has to say bewafai karunga, pal mei bhula dunga
It's certainly not just looks or romance. Both Murtasim and Meerab have a lot of depth and layers to their individual characters, as well as to their story and journey together. While binge-watching the initial episodes, the dargah scene and the arziyan music with Murtasim's changing feelings and softening stance really stood out. 👏 That was one scene which needs a separate analysis and discussion, among the many other equally beautiful sequences before and after that.
Wahaj needs special mention and applause for bringing Murtasim to life - that character now has its own existence with such a remarkable screen presence. So dynamic with the power he holds yet vulnerable when he asks Ma Begum "aapke liye mei kya hun" before agreeing to marry Meerab. He knows she's not happy and yet he has to agree because of the responsibility that comes with the gaddi. Though he's fallen in love now, but it is lonely at the top, after all. ❤️
He can't just do whatever his heart desires, despite being in control of everyone and everything around him. He can't give into impulse. Always has to operate within the boundaries of khandaan ki izzat, duniya ke expectations from him, family's pressure, etc. Yet he has come to be the perfect father figure whom his people worship. He owns this position and makes it his own, and how! That is endearing and reflective of reality.
Couldn't resist commenting, and tried to follow the threads but the discussions are moving at supersonic speed!
Hoping to follow the discussions! Have a good day / night 🤗
